Vodka tonic jelly shots blacklight

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups tonic water
1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
3 envelopes plain Knox gelatin (makes a firm jelly shot for setting in a mold. Decrease to 2 or 2 1/2 envelopes if using other methods to set, such as loaf pan or mini martini glasses. An envelope of plain Knox gelatin equals about 2 tsp of gelatin powder.)
2/3 cup vodka (citrus flavored is nice . . .)

Directions

1. First, prepare the silicon molds with a light application of cooking spray. Then wipe the mold cavities out with a clean paper towel. This method will leave just the slightest residue, which will help unmold the gelatin without affecting the taste or appearance. Place each mold on a cookie sheet or cooling rack to provide a stable surface for handling.

2. Combine the tonic, citrus juice, and sugar in a small saucepan and sprinkle with the gelatin. Allow the gelatin to soak for a minute or two. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved, about 5 minutes. (Mixture will be very foamy, but this will diminish.) Remove from the heat and stir in the vodka.

3. Pour the gelatin mixture into the molds, and refrigerate until fully set, several hours or overnight.

4. To serve, unmold, loosen the edges by pulling away from the side of the mold, and pop each jelly shot out.
